Carey, who is on the verge of launching E=MC2, thinks it is a compliment to be referred to as a diva.
According to the Touch My Body singer, this term describes anyone with a lot of personality. "I grew up hearing it, because my mother is an opera singer. The actual definition is ‘a talented female singer.’ Definition two is ‘a difficult woman who is successful,’ I believe. So I take it as a compliment," the 38-year-old star emphasized.
